My Bestest Friend is Moving...

The Spark · 02-24-2010, 10:21 PM

Last year, my best-estest friend moved to a town thirty miles away, which was (besides the fact that we then went to different schools) wasn't much of a big deal. We still hung out now and again, and talked all the time over texting, myspace, and facebook. Her mom is..to sum it up a douchey crazy slut, and Sam (my friend) and her sister (I'm also friends with) were recently placed in a foster home in the same town. Even though things were pretty bad, they weren't too bad. Supposedly her mom was going to get better, and in short time Sam and her sister (Olivia) would move back in with their mom, all being for the most part well again.
I guess that the night before last her mom went kinda crazy, though details weren't specified, and during a facebook chat Sam randomly sprung on me the fact that she was moving to Las Vegas-over 670 miles away to live with her grandparents since she knew she would otherwise have to live with foster parents for a VERY long time, which she had no intention of doing. Sam and I have been like sisters since late 4th grade (We're in 7th now), and this fact devastated me to the point that for obvious reasons i began crying.
We ended up making plans to hang out Saturday and sunday, where her, Olivia, some of their other friends, and myself are planning to watch Shutter Island on Saturday. Then, I'm suppose to spend the night at their foster parents house. I'm not sure whether to look forward to this (because it's going to be EPIC), or totally dread it (because I know it'll probably be the last time I'll ever be able to see Sam again).
Also, in my family, when you make plans, things tend to go haywire and end up not happening at all. Since I guess my mom despises driving, and their house is 30 minutes away, I see something happening that will prevent me from going, which would totally suck so there's another thing to worry about.
To Sam's luck, moving to LV (which she doesn't want to, though doesn't have much of a choice) falls on/around her birthday, so Happy Birthday to you Sam, you're life is about to be further ruined!....
This sucks.

That's horrible.

I know how hard it is to see someone very close to you move away [one of my closest friends moved to Mexico recently], but despite the pain, it really helps if you can keep in touch through it. Eventually you both will adapt to the distance in your own ways, and maybe she can visit sometime in the future.

You have my sympathies, and I hope things get better for the both of you.

I hear ya.

Hopefully you won't ever have the displeasure of actually being the person who moves. This has happened to me several times and it's no fun. *ALL my friends go bye-bye* Yeah, that sucks. Especially when I've gotten "attached" to a certain girl

Eventually, you (may) get new friends, but you still miss your old buddies sometimes.

Well, we can all be one, big happy family here on

VGF!

Can you at least try to reason with your family that this may be the last time you see your friend in a long time? Surely they can make an exception and drive you there, right? If not, what about the foster parents?

Regardless sorry to hear about your (and her) misfortune.
